Magnet For Vintage

I must say, therefore I will say...somehow vintage treasures just seem to find my path. I feel like a magnet with a force that attracts and attaches vintage lovely's to me. It's a wondrous feeling knowing I don't really have to search or hunt for these treasures...they just seem to show up wherever my day leads me.
This is great news for you my friends and fellow vintage lovers...because you get first glance at these lovely finds before they become available in my 2 Etsy Shops via "Up Town Thrift" & "Lovely Vintage Etc".


My latest unique find...

 Enjoy! :)

The Return

Yes, I have returned after a seemingly long sabbatical...August 2010 was my last post.
Now more than a year later I've decided to reconnect...my intention is to reembark on this blogging venue with a renewed determination to follow through on a consistent posting basis.
People who consistently not only blog, yet can twitt, keep up w/ FB ,create and run an online Etsy shop amaze me! Or should I say more than amaze me! Not to mention many of them have other jobs and college obligations to boot. So Amazing!!
 How do they effectively juggle all such endeavors?
 Do they have a commodity on time...is there a facility where time can be purchased?
 Maybe they don't sleep?
Or just maybe I just move at a turtles pace...
So anyway, I've decided to devote one day to blog posting...I chose lazy daisy Sunday afternoons...however, I might just squeeze a couple more blogging days into the mix...I just never know about me.
So I look forward to seeing you here...reading and commenting as I will bring you on my travels for living vintage treasures...from say the mod hippie 70's to the radical sit-in 60's style...and of course such era's as...30's.40's, 50's etc...
stay tuned for fabulous finds and contests!
